Portraits | Caitlin Childs Photography https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com Mon, 05 Oct 2015 21:18:48 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 69880796 Wine Country Engagement Photos: Katrina and Hunter https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/engagement-pictures/wine-country-engagement-photos-katrina-and-hunter/ https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/engagement-pictures/wine-country-engagement-photos-katrina-and-hunter/#respond Wed, 10 Jun 2015 20:57:07 +0000 http://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/?p=686 Katrina and Hunter’s love story is a total whirlwind, from first seeing each other on match, to celebrating valentine’s day with an engagement and birthdays to follow. I was thrilled to get to do their engagement photos. This couple has SO much love for each other and everyone surrounding them, being able to capture their energy in photos is just so fun!

Katrina and Hunter are members of the wine club at Truett Hurst so the location was an easy decision. The entire vineyard is gorgeous, from grassy fields and an old barn, to a gorgeous river view and a delicate flower garden. I loved Katrina’s cowboy boots and hat; and Hunter’s whole cowboy-casual look. I heard Katrina’s planning to reuse the boots on her wedding day. Can’t wait to see them!

Engagement Portraits for Kyle and Amanda https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/engagement-pictures/engagement-portraits-for-kyle-and-amanda/ https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/engagement-pictures/engagement-portraits-for-kyle-and-amanda/#respond Tue, 21 May 2013 02:15:22 +0000 http://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/?p=513 Amanda and Kyle were referred to me by a friend and it was lovely to meet this great couple! They’ll be getting married next year in Hawaii, and wanted to do some beach photos during their engagement shoot. As I talked to them to plan out their photo shoot, I found out that Kyle is a HUGE Star Wars fan, and wanted to bring light sabers to the shoot. Talk about the perfect couple for this nerdy photographer! I immediately knew we had to go to Armstrong Woods, which is a dead-ringer for Endor, and would be a great location for a Star Wars feel.

I scouted a few locations, and worked with Amanda to plan out her costume changes accordingly. You can see in the photos they came well prepared with everything from light sabers to Disney hats and custom printed Mickey & Minnie t-shirts.

Family Portraits with Arturo and Kiana https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/family-portraits/family-portraits-with-arturo-and-kiana/ https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/family-portraits/family-portraits-with-arturo-and-kiana/#respond Thu, 21 Feb 2013 01:13:46 +0000 http://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/?p=501 For Christmas, I promised Arturo a family portrait session with him and Kiana. We had a great time organizing the session around 2 themes: an informal play session and a formal portrait. Playing first allowed Kiana to get used to the camera, and relax while having fun, and got her in the mood for her formal portrait session to follow. She loved getting dressed up and smiling for the camera.

Spencer and Scott’s Maternity Portraits https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/maternity-portraits/spencer-and-scotts-maternity-portraits/ https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/maternity-portraits/spencer-and-scotts-maternity-portraits/#respond Fri, 21 Dec 2012 04:05:36 +0000 http://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/?p=416 After photographing their wedding last year, it was an honor to get to spend some time with Scott and Spencer to do a maternity portrait session with them a few weeks before Spencer was due. We weren’t sure what sort of weather we would have the day of the shoot, so I brought my matching rain boots and umbrella for Spencer just in case. We started with some shots indoors in their cozy house, then ventured outside to Ragle Ranch Park in Sebastopol for a few outdoor shots.

Documentary Photography for StoveTeam International https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/travel/documentary-photography-for-stoveteam-international/ https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/travel/documentary-photography-for-stoveteam-international/#respond Wed, 12 Dec 2012 18:48:32 +0000 http://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/?p=436 In November, I traveled to Honduras and Guatemala with an amazing charity called StoveTeam International. They asked me to go with them to document their work, and provided a list of photos they knew they would want to use in their marketing campaigns. I love traveling, and have been to Peru and Vietnam in the past few years, but this was my first trip to Central America. It’s hard to sum up the trip, but it was a truly life-changing time. The work StoveTeam does in building clean cookstoves is vitally important to the people who are using their stoves, and I had an amazing time getting to know the families in the village where we were working.

Engagement portraits for Joey and Rosy https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/engagement-pictures/engagement-portraits-for-joey-and-rosy/ https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/engagement-pictures/engagement-portraits-for-joey-and-rosy/#respond Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:16:48 +0000 http://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/?p=261 I had so much fun working with Joey and Rosy on their engagement portraits. They are such a fun, energetic couple, and really played off of each other during our session. We used three locations in the Marin/Kentfield Area, where Joey’s grandparents lived. Joey suggested Deer Park and the Marin Art and Garden Center, both of which made for wonderful, natural locations for their portraits. We had a lot of laughs and so much fun over the course of our two hour session, and finished it off with a delicious dinner at Sol Food in San Rafael. Yum!

Engagement portraits for Elly and Joel https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/engagement-pictures/engagement-portraits-for-elly-and-joel/ https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/engagement-pictures/engagement-portraits-for-elly-and-joel/#respond Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:16:44 +0000 http://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/?p=249 Working with Elly and Joel was a pleasure. They are a great couple, and have a lot of interests in common. From the start they knew they wanted to do their engagement portraits out in a natural setting, and we talked over several locations around Santa Rosa before deciding on Howarth Park.

It was a great location because there are so many different areas in the park to choose from, so we were able to play with the location a lot. We spent about two hours doing the photo shoot and had a wonderful time. Elly and Joel were up for anything I suggested, and had some shots that they knew they wanted before we went. They were so happy with their pictures, too, which is always a great feeling as a photographer.

Senior Portraits for Haley https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/senior-portraits/senior-portraits-for-haley/ https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/senior-portraits/senior-portraits-for-haley/#respond Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:21:20 +0000 http://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/?p=279 Haley is a Senior at Maria Carrillo High School in Santa Rosa. She wanted her senior portraits to be unique, and loved the idea of having them set in real locations. I suggested that we do our first set of photos in Railroad Square, and then head to Doyle Park for our second half. Haley brought three outfits which were perfect for the locations we had chosen. She was thrilled with the way the photos turned out, and I know that the warm autumn leaves on the trees at Doyle Park along with Haley’s fabulous smile really made the photos shine.
